Financier Patisserie

Strawberry shortcake and more — the dishes looked delicious in the display. Melted on the trip home, though! Had to put it in the fridge for fixing… at $ 5.75, was not a cheap piece of dessert, but was pretty. Very French it was.
Friendly worker up front, but as he noted, chef would probably never make an egg-​free version of anything. So… off to another place for my allergic friends… a little side treat for my child, though, so that was a nice touch.

The staff is very friendly and welcoming, the espresso is decent and you can get it for a «normal» price meaning less than $ 2. That’s appreciated when you experienced some $ 3.50 disgusting espresso one block away.
If you have time to kill waiting for someone around 59^th street and need a nice espresso, that’s the best deal around

Right by a place I was working for. The coffee is good and the staff is very friendly. And almond milk is available without an upcharge which is nice. And a free little baby pastry with your coffee. They also play cute French music and have an area to sit by the window. I saw folks eating but I haven’t tried the food yet.

This place has great coffee and amaaaaaazing handcrafted pastries. This is my go to spot when I work in that area and I walk by about 20 other coffee shops between the 53^rd and Lex station and here.
I’ve been here well over a hundred times and I’ve never had a bad experience… Take that for what’s it’s worth.

Best coffee and desserts! I love all locations, but especially this one. Staff are always nice and pleasant. Everything is always fresh and the store is always clean.

Their coffee goes with a small piece of cake, so sweet! And I loved their iced latte, only managed to find out this place after I moved away from thus area, so sad:(((

Love their macarons, they are like $ 2.75 each… they are the size of your face, they are fresh … and you get great service.
So worth the time and money… considering all of the other places in the city that overcharge and are not worth it. This place is definitely worth it. :) Enjoy.

I am a sweets head. Boy do I love french pastries, my favorite is made lines. and here they do not disappoint. In fact each time I go there it’s mainly to get these. Also to die for, their apple turnover which is filled with apple sauce. Pass on the palmier, it’s they are not sweet enough. Other wise the rest of the pastries will make you feel like you are in a bakery in Paris.

The pumpkin pie and mini macarons were amazing!
The prices weren’t too bad either — I was expecting the pie to be more given its size.
The girl who helped me was realky friendly and took the time to explain what each cake/​pie was. Definite give this place a try

These desserts belong in the Met. They’re gorgeous, and I can sit and admire these treats for hours. So it’s a always a bit of a let down when I stop by this particular location (it’s a chain) with its indifferent staff, sit down, and try the whatever snack I get, and ultimately feel disappointed. Most recently, I tried the Plum Mascarpone, and don’t get me wrong, it was GOOD, but I felt like it was… missing something? Like it didn’t taste greater than the sum of its parts. Now I keep coming back here when I’m in the area in the middle of the day. So that says something to consider. I get certainly get the worldly vibe here, just sitting back and enjoying my coffee and cake in a cute bakery alongside UN diplomats. Or maybe I just like the atmosphere here where I can feel like I can have the tea party that I was deprived of as a child.
Their croissants are *okay*, not flaky enough for me, but in a pinch they’ll do.

The people are super friendly at this location and always in a great mood.
It’s a nice place to stop for a coffee, but the prices are a little steep for a regular hot cup. There also is no seating inside so it’s more of a to-​go place than a café to sit and relax in!
The soups and sandwiches are pretty good for lunch though!

The cappuccino here is tiny for a small! But the great thing is that it’s strong. I went for the medium cappuccino which apparently had 2 espresso shots in it and was wide awake to continue the rest of my day. I also had the chocolate flour less cake which didn’t leave much of an impression on me because it was a little too dry. But my friend had the flan and it was fluffy and not overly sweet, just purely delish!

I tried two different flavors of macaroons at FP and they were delicious! They reminded me of macaroons that I tried in Paris. The price was also great — under $ 3 for each large size macaroon, which I think was quite a bargain: D
They weren’t however extremely unique, or the best I have ever had, so I give it a four out of five. I am still on the hunt for the perfect (not too sweet and just the right texture) macaroon in the city!

Always friendly staff, I love their coffees, cappucini and espressi and helas. their sweets are so dangerous… stay away from my body you delicious sweets!
Just saw that they will have galette des rois for epiphany starting Jan 2^nd! :))

The macarons are actually pretty good, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to return. The store is small and generic, and the service is less attentive than McDonald’s. When I’m buying high-​end cookies at a high-​end price, at least give the illusion that you give a damn.

All the sweets in the world can’t make Financier Patisserie employee courteous, nor friendly or inviting. I will not be returning to this bakery.
I ordered a mushroom soup with a brownie and the gentlemen whom ran the cashier didn’t even hand me my receipt and just walked away after ringing my order and giving me my card back, turns around and throws my receipt in the garbage .
Really !there where only two customers including myself and I asked you «am I all set» been polite since I didn’t want to be a biiitch and sarcasm can be much sweeter than been stray up rude .
I hope they overcharge me so I can dispute the charge since I was not properly given a receipt. Wow people must truly hate their lives because with that attitude baby you aint going far, nor financier patisserie paying you for turning customers off and away.

I have completely surrendered to the apple turnover here… Any day started with it can’t be bad!

I love Financier because it’s great quality and great service. This is my go-​to spot for impressive little birthday desserts or their standard macaron box — $ 9 for 7 macarons, beautifully presented in a cute clear box.
This particular location is grab-​and-​go because the store is super tiny. However, it’s well stocked, not far from Katagiri market and Bloomingdales, and the service is always great. I personally like this location even more than the bigger location near my work at Astor place.
Great coffee, and love that it comes with a mini financier each time. ;-) It’s small but does the trick in giving you a little sugar, and goes amazingly with the coffee.

This location is adorable and you get really good coffee quickly!
Wish they had a bathroom though.
